Priests

From StarWiki

Priests were those in StarMUD society who believe in the goodness in each and every person, and are devotees of the almighty Zark. They are essentially pacifists, preferring the quiet solitude of studying scripture and philosophy over the bloodshed of war. Their primary temple is located on Krebius.

Abilities

Priests without a subprofession are considered the most holy of all of Zark's followers, and are able to use the 'holybolt' command. They also have better contact with the spirit world, and are hence better with the 'sshield' command.

Priests are poor in combat in most instances, but possess powerful intellects, and a purity of soul that allows them to excel in their mental talents. They are able to heal their injuries, as well as the injuries of other players, with the 'pbleed' command. They may also bless weapons and armors for only themselves to use.

Misc

Normal priests may only use their staves, though some priest subprofessions are rumored to specialize in different weaponry. Priests have a profession shop located within their headquarters, and may buy special equipment there. They also may confess their sins and receive a blessing of faith and pray from Zark, as well as sacrifice objects or credits for additional gifts from Zark.

The priests of Zark are among the religious elite of StarMUD society and, as according to the doctrines of the almighty Zark, do not accept the unnatural into their Order. The races that may join are as follows: rubbit, derrel, enai, gazh, mantris, human, fremen, urech, eldar, psilon, chimera, and cyclop.
